Re: Anxiously Waiting

Finally heard from Barbs doctors office today, the FDA finally approved her for the TDM-1 compassionate access. We were told some papers had to be signed by lawyers representing the practice administering the drug which should happen in the next 24 to 48 hours and we should see the drug here next week. We canceled here scheduled treatment today for Navelbine and Herceptin knowing that she wouldnt be able to do TDM-1 soon if she had Herceptin today. She and I are excited to get this in her system and were praying it does what its designed to do. Thanks again for all the encouraging words.
